GEORGE W. CARTER, OF GOLDSON, OREGON.

LAMP-CHIMNEY HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 21, 1915.

Application filed July 3, 1915. Serial No. 37,854.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it know that I, GEORGE W. CARTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Goldson, in the county of Lane and State of Oregon, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Chimney Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in liquid fuel burning lamps, and more particularly to means for securely retaining the chimney in its applied position upon the burner.

The object of my invention is to provide a device of this character which will permi the easy application and removal of the chimney from the burner and which will retain the chimney in its applied position against accidental displacement when moving the lamp from place to place.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is a side eleva 'on of my device; Fig. 2 is a transverse ion through the chimney in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the modified chimney detached from the burner; and Fig. at is a bottom plan view of the burner.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 1 designates any well known type of burner, which is provided with a peripheral flange f2, and extending radially from the body of the burner 1 are a plurality of arms 3 which have the terminals thereof bent at right angles to form vertically disposed inverted L-shaped brackets 4.

Arranged upon the outer wall of the chimney 1 adjacent the lower edge thereof is a band 5 which is composed of any suitable material, preferably metal, said band being of a circular configuration and having secured thereto hook members 6. These hook members are disposed diametrically opposite, each of which comprises a strip of material which has a portion of its length rigidly secured to the band, the re maining portion being arranged in substantially spaced parallel relation thereto. The free ends of the hook members are bent upwardly and the upper edge is inclined downwardly for a purpose hereinafter described.

When the chimney 4 is applied to the burner 1 the band 5, being disposed approximately at the lower edge of the chimney, will rest upon the peripheral flange 2 and by imparting a partial rotary movement to the chimney the hook members 6 will be caused to engage with the brackets 4, the upper edges of the hook members engaging the under surface of the horizontal portions of the brackets and frictionally holding the hook members about the brackets. It is of course understood that a reverse motion will disengage the hooks from the brackets and permit the chimney to be removed.

It will be understood that variations and modifications may be made from the construction disclosed herein without departing from the spirit of the invention and Within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. A device of the class described comprising a burner, L-shaped brackets vertically disposed about the peripheral flange of the burner, a chimney, a band secured to said chimney, and hook members formed on said band and spaced therefrom, said hook members being adapted to engage said brackets.

52. A device of the class described comprising a burner, L-shaped brackets vertically disposed about the peripheral flange of the burner, a chimney, a band secured to said chimney adjacent the lower edge thereof, and hook members formed on said band and having the upper edges thereof adapted to engage the horizontal portions of said brackets.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE WV. CARTER.
